Don't be paranoid: I was young when floride was put in the water. I drank lots of water since my grandfather told me to, pulling out his complete dentures to demonstrate the consequences of not. I ate lots of candy and junk food and have no cavities at 58. My parents and older sibs all have lots of cavities and some needed partial dentures. I would not buy toothpaste without it as my current water is without floride.

Fluoride helpful: Too much of anything is harmful. In therapeutic amounts, however, are very helpful. Fluoridation of water supplies results in almost total elimination of cavities in growing children. Our family is "on" fluoride. Yours should be also.

Not true: Flouride is needed in the right amounts to protect and strengthen your teeth, but too much of it is harmful to you. Just like some vitamins for example too much of them would be harmful to you as well.
